I've done another full wipe and a clean install, however some menus are still laggy when scrolling, WiFi settings for instance is one and pulling down the status bar can be quite laggy

any suggestions? A search for smooth and scrolling only brings up how smooth it is :D It is very quick and smooth in some areas but others (at least for me) not so much

Loving everything else though, great job
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I've noticed very minor lags in scrolling now and then, but I've got my CPU settings on 'On Demand' with min 384MHz and max 768MHz, and even then it's so minor I hardly ever notice any lag...

With lag on the 'WiFi Settings' menu, keep in mind that particular menu refreshes the list of WiFi connections available when it's opened, so perhaps that has something to do with it?
[Desire Android Development] ShiftyBloke:
Ah yes I see that mine is set to the same. If I drag down the notification bar a few times it does get smoother, I guess that is the answer really

I was thinking this as well, i've run a few other apps (G+, FB and IMDB). Out of those IMDB wasn't very smooth at all but the others run great. I guess its mainly an app based/context situation.

Really impressed with the speed of this bad boy though :D :cool:

You make 2 primary partitions on your SD card. The first of X - 1 GB formatted as FAT32, the second of 1 GB formatted as EXT4, where X is the total capacity of your SD card. Oxygen will do the rest.

Have you guys had any problems where you lose signal and it stays on emergency calls only?

Airplane mode on and off doesn't always solve it sometimes a reboot is required.

I'm using the 30_2 radio but havve flash newer ones but settled on that one purely because it seems most stable..and most roms recommend it

I've installed Oxygen yesterday, changed kernel to ManU, installed Sibere`s D2SD and restored my apps and settings. Everything would by fine, but... battery was chewed in about 4 hours from full to empty. What the hell?

HTC Desire GSM

Oxygen 2.1.6

32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08

ManU-2.0-GB-HAVS-AXI-128-BFS

Sibere`s Data2SD X14E GB

SetCPU with screen off @ 128/389 /or so/ Ondemand

I was using this kernel from a long time and I'm quite happy with it. Radio also, gives me the best reception/power usage in my region. Sibere`s D2SD is new for me, but it shouldn't be the cause?

Any clues? Right now it's unusable. There is like constant linear drain of power, but power monitor doesn't show anything unusual.

-- Edit

Screenshot from power monitor in attachment.
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
Do a full wipe and DO NOT install any third party kernel, no Data2SD scripts and do not set up SetCPU to limit CPU frequencies. Check battery life with that system. If it's ok, then it's one of your installations.
[Desire Android Development] hakatu:
I'm always doing a full wipe before flashing a new kernel.

Unfortunately if I'm not able to use Data2SD, then this is not a ROM for me. I don't want to change HBOT... and my class 6 uSD is a way faster than internal memory ;P

Also, I like the BFS scheduler. It's more fluid than CFS. Also, there is no smartass governor in default kernel.

After checking logs... I wonder. Could SetCPU be the cause? My Qualcom was in 1GHz state over 50% of the time.
[Desire Android Development] chronicfathead:
Agreed.

Try wiping and using stock install.

I use setcpu and it has improved the battery life, but I'm not going as low as 128. I find that it won't wake up at that speed.

I set it to drop down to 7## @30% and 5## when the battery hits 37°c.

_thalamus' kernel is very good and I would recommend using it, but doesn't offer 128.

Have you installed any messaging apps?

[Desire Android Development] chronicfathead:
I think is shows something was not right.

Which rom are you coming from?

sent by touching my Desire
[Desire Android Development] hakatu:
Will try this.

The default for oxygen is 2.6.35.13r4, right? It has CFS scheduler and disabled AVS?

Adding echo 1 > /sys/module/avs/parameters/enabled to init.d should enable it, right?

Go Sms Pro. I've been using it from a few months on two different roms.

LeeDroid 3.0.8.2. Quite good, but I was not happy with rild (Dialer) bug.

I'll try to reinstall a bare system today.
[Desire Android Development] Karbo81:
Guys is there any ROM for Desire HD like Oxygen?!

I'm getting Desire HD soon and i would love to put a custom rom on it like a Oxygen.
[Desire Android Development] ShiftyBloke:
Yeah I am. Thought it was just me to be fair. Started happening on 15th July, and has struggled since. I phoned them as well and they were useless

Will do as you suggest and see how it goes :D

One thing did come good out of it though.. I switched to Oxygen :D
[Desire Android Development] alex98uk:
Anyone got a suggested radio to use with this?
[Desire Android Development] Scirwode:
To be honest it's happening to me and I'm not on T-Mobile, using Maxis in Malaysia here. There are times when it disconnects and says I'm using Airplane mode or something. Thinking of formatting it and seeing if the problem disappears.

Also, is using Data2SD consume a lot of battery?

I've re flashed everything and left stock, Thalamus kernel.

So far it seems to be as usual. After 2h of uptime, single short call, an sms and a few e-mails my Desire has eaten 3% of the battery.

Too bad, that there is no Smartass governor, AVS/HAVS and default scheduler is CFS. I really liked those features in ManU kernel. Everything was a bit more fluid and battery lasted a bit longer.

I wonder if there is any bug with WiFi radio management. Compared to CM or LeeDroid, Oxygen reports quite high power consumption for WiFi.

Please, share your settings and average battery lifetime.

Arabic/RTL Support (patch) for Oxygen 2.1.6

First of all, I'd like to thank you for such an excellent ROM, it's definitely become my favorite. But, I was disappointed that there was no Arabic/RTL support.

So, after some research and a lot of trial-and-error I managed to cook-up a small patch to add Arabic/RTL support to Oxygen 2.1.6.

I tested this on a fresh (GSM) install (only) and I can confirm that it works and it didn't cause in problems for me, but just in case; use it at your own risk ;)

The steps are simple:

Install Oxygen 2.1.6 as you normally would.

Wait till the install finishes and the OS is ready/stable.

Don't choose/change any options (just to be safe) and reboot into recovery.

Install the patch using ClockworksMod and reboot.

Download (patch): http://www.mediafire.com/?boe9bpakl11xwus

May I suggest this patch/post would be added as a footnote to the original thread in order to make it easier to find for those who might be looking for it? Just a suggestion :)

Special thanks to abokamel for the translated/modified "libwebcore" file.

Also, to the developer of "Arabic Script 0.803".

The recommended Radio for Oxygen is 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2.

My RIL is HTC-RIL 2.2.1001G.

I read in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=902752, that the RIL for 32.44.00.32U_5.09.05.30_2 should be HTC-RIL 2.2.0015HM.

Should I flash the old RIL or should I stick to the new one? Did the new one came with the OxygenROM?
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Use the ril included in oxygen.

There is no single recommended radio because all hardware revisions and networks perform differently. Just find one that works and stick with it.

Hi

How can fix this ? Is there a way to reinstall just Gtalk ?

[Desire Android Development] hakatu:
I'm currently after 1 day 3 hours 20 minutes of uptime with 42% battery left. It seems, that ManU kernel was probably to blame, but I really miss smartass governor, havs and bfs.

With stock thalamus kernel, my Desire scores around 1.4k in quadrant. After flashing manu kernel, it scores whooping 2k. And it's not just number. Normal usage seems more fluid and responsive. Just that damn battery drain ;/

I've also noticed, that when WiFi is enabled, my whole system drains 170-230 mA current. Quite high. I remember, that on CM6 it was under 120mA, and around 150mA with LeeDroid.

Any clues? Any other kernel? Maybe I should try again with manu? What about Tiamat`s kernel?
[Desire Android Development] suiller:
the candle that brights the double will burn in half time :cool:
[Desire Android Development] manu93_:
i flashed the 2.6.35.13-manu-2.0-gb-havs-128-cfs manu kernel, but now my camerda doesn't work anymore. The application crashes when i start it. Do you have the same problems? How can i solve this problem?

I have Radio 5.09.05.30_2 and oxygen 2.1.6 and i already flashed the rom again with a full wipe
[Desire Android Development] KBanause:
If it's not crashing with _thalamus' kernel why not using that kernel?
[Desire Android Development] hypophysis:
Go to the first page of the ManU thread and read the second post. There's a Q&A section from EViollet himself. It's written there:

"On which ROMs do these kernels NOT work? : Oxygen 2. I recommend directly using _thalamus' kernels for Oxygen 2 : http://thalamus.ineige.org/kernels/2.6.35/"

Nonetheless your question already got asked several times on the ManU thread e.g. on Page 112, again two days later on page 115 and again another three days later on page 121...
[Desire Android Development] hakatu:
Then.. maybe my question? Is there a kernel that support havs/bfs/128mhz and works on Oxygen 2.1.6?
[Desire Android Development] manu93_:
sorry, than it was my fault. i haven't read it. Tiamat doesn't work too. i am also searching a kernel with underclocking
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
The only kernel that works 100% with Oxygen is the _thalamus kernel. Have you actually tried it long term? Do you *really* need to underclock or are you just assuming given your battery life on other roms?

Seriously, to everyone playing with kernels/governers/undervolt/underclock etc - just run it all default for a while first. Given that _thalamus kernel is built specifically for Oxygen and the primary aim is stability, battery life and performance - wouldn't you think it'd be the first place to look anyway?

M.
[Desire Android Development] dakore:
No! Please pimp your ROM in some other thread.

FYI, stock Oxygen + thalamus kernel + wifi active = ~130mA (screen on), ~12mA (screen off).
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Even that's high - I get 4-5mA with screen off, wifi on. All default, no SetCPU or anything either.

M.
[Desire Android Development] hakatu:
Yes, I'm 'assuming', that those features will extend my uptime even further. Why they wouldn't? Better scheduler = less task juggling. Better governor = less frequency switching. Lower frequency and voltage = lower power usage. Sum this up yourself.

But maybe you're right. Maybe Oxygen just 'have' to work with thalamus and nothing else.

How much battery life do you get on those default settings? How do you use your phone? I'm asking, because after 30 hours I have only 30% left. And this is with those 'pimps' you so dislike. Without them, my Desire dies after 25 hours or so.
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
I'm a fairly light user and I can get 3 days out of my phone if I need to, though usually recharge after 1 or 2 depending on how i'm feeling. I always keep wifi on, 3g on, gps on - no point in having a smartphone if you're going to cut it off from the net.

M.
[Desire Android Development] dakore:
I'm getting that low with all connections killed.

~12mA is measured with ~17 apps running in background with several various syncs and email push - my default setup. Just saying.
[Desire Android Development] f0xy:
How do you measure it, with a battery widget?

Default kernel ftw. My desire is 3days medium/high user. I do like the cm7 smartass govnor but if its not in oxygen I do without. Rom is excellent without!

As i jog everyday, and i use it to toogle the lockscreen so that its easily for me to look @ my time tracker.

After i press to turn off the lockscreen, and i cant turn it back on (even its ON, as indicates in my widget). I have to go to SystemSetting and manually reset/set the lock pattern again. Or, i reboot to get the lockscreen back.

Is this an issue? Can i post that in the issue tracker and will Adam_g fix it? :( seem like he is focus with his SGS2 now.... :(

PS: i have searched Toogle and Lockscreen, both not getting the result.

I've read it boosts the wifi signal and fixes some issues.
[Desire Android Development] ZaLiTHkA:
I just tested this on mine with the notification bar toggles in Oxygen 2.1.6; works perfectly for me. Perhaps it's time to upgrade from 2.1.4...? :)

Although, when you say 'Power Control Widget', you mean the toggles at the top of the notification bar or the actual 'Power Control' widget that comes with Android...? As far as I know, the default Power Widget doesn't have a lockscreen toggle..
[Desire Android Development] f0xy:
Never and 14 channels
[Desire Android Development] mattman83:
Yeah that's kind of my point :)

I've read the fixes are iphone4 style fixes where they just make the bars read differently. How can a ROM update fix radio performance??

What I'm trying to get across is that the 2.3.5 update is specifically for the Nexus S 4G and really doesn't bring anything new for the rest of us.

I have rooted my phone using Unrevoked.

I've taken a NANdroid backup using ROM Manager.

I've also partitioned my SD Card using ROM Manager with a 512mb partition and a 32mb swap partition.

Is this enough to put Oxygen on or do I need a 1gb partition with ext2 or ext3 or ext4 etc?
[Desire Android Development] all43:
Hi UberNoobster , You do not need to partition your card for Oxygen to run(just fat32)...only if you wish to use apps2sd(ext), also swap is not needed. Rom manager is not a safe option these days, recovery is the safest way to nand back up. Check out Bravo Oxygen r2 Alpha Rev 1.8

I tell a lie sorry, my backup was done in recovery with clockworkmod.

Ok sounds like the 512 is your ext3, as I said the swap is wasted space though UberNoobster, take a copy of your nandroid back up on to your pc just in case...its not necessary but its good to have a second back up copy and enjoy Oxygen!

The phone keeps rebooting when I use GPS for a while. It seems that the processor (or whatever is below the battery) is getting very hot and I guess the smartphone shuts down for security reasons. It never happened to me when I had the original Sense-ROM.

The same thing happened on my phone. At the beginning I just noticed it using gps but it's been worse and worse in time. Changes of radio didn't solve the problem. Now when the phone consumes data using 3g, there is 90% chance for rebooting. No issue using wifi. I think it's a hardware issue.
